If details are neglected. Her theory
was exemplitied by her essay which
was well written and nicely delivered.

The anniversary exercises were held
at the City hall on Friday evening, and
were highly creditable to the members
OF the class themselves, and the school
from which they graduated. Excel
lent music was furnished by the Min
eral Point band, Misses Maxiener,
Edith Roberts, Edith Hawkins, Messrs.
:. T. Osborne and j. l.. Hankins,
and carefully prepared programme of
literary exercises was well carried out.
The worst feature Of the evening was
the small size of the hall. The seats
were all filed almost as soon as the
ercises commenced many were unable
to secure standing room. \ large
number of young people came from
Dodgeyile, Darlington, Platteyille and
and elsewhere, and il is greatly to be
regretted that they could not have been
furnished with comfortable seats.
"Out of the Bay into the Ocean y
was the class motto, and in the back
ground Of the stage was a suggestive
picture which was painted for the
occasion.
At about eight O'Clock the band
played an overture, and Mr.. j. =.
